The State of Texas
Dear Mr. Burney:
On January 20, 2015, you filed an appellant’s brief in the above referenced
case in which you certified that, in your professional opinion, this appeal is
without merit and is frivolous.
The court has requested that I advise you that you must comply with
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511
(Tex. Crim. App. 1991), Ex Parte Owens, 206 S.W.3d 670, 671 (Tex. Crim. App.

App. June 25, 2014), by sending a letter to your client informing appellant of
appellant’s right to file a pro se response. The letter must inform your client that
you are asking to withdraw, why you are asking to withdraw, where and how to
file a pro se response to the motion, of appellant’s right of access to the record,
of appellant’s right to file a pro se brief in this court, and, in the event this court
affirms the trial court’s judgment, of appellant’s right to file a pro se petition for
discretionary review in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
Please provide the court with a copy of the letter you send to your client
regarding an Anders response or a certification showing your compliance with
Anders on or before Monday, February 02, 2015.
Respectfully yours,
DEBRA SPISAK, CLERK
